I agree with those folks who are suggesting that you visit thrift and second hand stores and look at the frames available; some empty, some not. One of places I visit will have smaller frames 11 x 14, 9 x 12, 8 x 10, 5 x 7 and 4 x 6 for a dollar each and sometimes for a quarter each if they are getting overloaded. I have purchased larger frames for far less than ten dollars. I don't know what you plan to do with your frames once you make them. If you plan to sell your work, then maybe you would want to spend the money and time to make your own frames. I doubt, however, if you could make, for example a 20 x 24 solid oak frame 2 1/2 wide with glass for less than ten dollars. And there is always fine tuning you can do with a mat. You will be saving money and the money you do spend will go toward helping those in need.

You' re right. Perhaps he is a do it himselfer and that's great. However if he is like me and just wants some appropriately sized frames to put images in or perhaps some art, then the thrift store route is an option. Thanks

I started making my own frames many years ago. just wasn't satisfied with traditional frames. This one was for my daughters wedding photo. 16x20 canvas stretched into the curvy frame. To me this is just as rewarding as taking the pictures.

That's beautiful- frame and image and a good combination. You just inspired me to do some framing.

I “Binged” Picture Frame Molding” and got this:

I used a guy on Etsy for natural driftwood frames.
Used to have a picture framing store in Florida and bought from a couple of major suppliers but I didn’t see any listed. I was surprised to see Walmart showing some frame material.

Thanks but I don't think we have one nearby and I want the raw materials to make the frame.

I used dimensional oak from Lowe's. A router table added the details. Whatever you decide to do, practice with scrap wood.

What is dimentional lumber?

Dimensional lumber is what you get at a lumber yard or home store (Lowe's, Home Depot,) 1X4, 1X6, 2X4, etc. and in normal lengths like 6 ft., 8 ft., 10 ft.

I also make my own frames. I use wood from various sources including going to salvage shops or places like Restore to get pieces. The hardwood store I go to has molding pieces intended for construction, but I have been able to glue different molding together to create frames. Sometime it just takes getting dimensional stuff from the lumber store and using a router to create frame material. What makes the frame unique is that I do not use stuff you find in a frame shop.
